AMD x86 Server CPU Market Share Rises to 39.4%

According to the latest data from Mercury Research, AMD has delivered impressive growth across multiple segments of the x86 CPU market in Q1 2025, driven by strong product performance and continued innovation.

In the x86 server CPU segment, AMD reached a record-high revenue share of 39.4%, marking a 6.5 percentage point increase year-over-year and a 3.1 percentage point gain quarter-over-quarter. The shipment share also rose to 27.2%, up 1.5 points from the previous quarter and 3.6 points from a year earlier. This robust momentum is largely attributed to the success of AMD's Zen 4-based Genoa and Bergamo processors, with the rollout of Zen 5-based Turin CPUs continuing to enhance performance and energy efficiency for modern data centers.

In the desktop CPU market, AMD posted a revenue share of 34.1%, setting another record. This represents a 15.2-point year-over-year increase and a 6.4-point quarter-over-quarter gain. AMD's shipment share hit 28%, also climbing 4.1 points year-over-year and 0.9 points from the previous quarter. The growth was fueled by the strong market reception of high-performance processors like the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Ryzen 7 9800X3D, along with the company's competitive edge in content creation workloads through its 12-core and 16-core CPU offerings.

In the mobile computing segment, AMD achieved a revenue share of 22.1%, up 7.3 points year-over-year and 0.5 points quarter-over-quarter. While the shipment share reached 22.5%, it experienced a modest 1.2-point decline quarter-over-quarter, but still rose 3.2 points year-over-year. AMD continues to expand its presence across the mobile market, offering a broad x86 portfolio ranging from entry-level Ryzen 200/300 series chips to the performance-oriented Ryzen AI 300 series, and premium solutions like the Ryzen 9000HX "Fire Range" and Ryzen AI MAX "Strix Halo" APU families.

Overall, AMD's total client CPU revenue share climbed to 24.4%, a 10.2-point increase year-over-year and a 2.7-point quarter-over-quarter rise. The client CPU shipment share stood at 24.1%, up 3.5 points year-over-year, with a slight 0.5-point decline from the previous quarter.
